the duke spirit - neptune

January 31st, 2008 by Dave Allen

Life During Wartime. The rock bands I like I can count on the fingers of one hand. Therefore The Duke Spirit should be glad that I care about their music. Perhaps I like the spunk of Liela Moss their lead singer. Perhaps I’m giving them a chance to worm their way into my head in the hope that other bands will follow and rock music can gain a foothold in popular music rankings again. Maybe. I haven’t tired of my In Rainbows package yet nor the Burial album. Both not rock.

Anyway, The Duke Spirit are heading our way for some shows and will release their new Chris Goss-produced album, ‘Neptune’ digitally worldwide via iTunes on February 5, with the official US release to follow April 8 on Shangri-La Music. (I suppose by “official” that means on the redundant plastic disc. What is more “official” than being released worldwide via iTunes?)

US Tour Dates
2/12 Music Hall of Williamsburg (w/ The Kooks)
2/13 Mercury Lounge, New York
2/14 Union Hall, Brooklyn
3/5 The Echo, Los Angeles
3/7 & 3/8 Toronto
3/12 SXSW Austin - KCRW showcase

Listen to Neptune via this Album player. And here’s a MP3 from last year.
